Chris Hemsworth as Thor Will Destroy You in New Character Portrait

It's been a good 24 hours to be a Marvel fan. The Web was invigorated yesterday with the first images of Spider-Man and Captain America as they will appear in new films, and we're excited to begin the weekend with an astonishingly cool new photograph of Chris Hemsworth as Thor. Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Thor becomes increasingly anticipated by we at ComicsAlliance, as each new image and piece of footage suggests what is likely to be the most epic and over-the-top of Marvel Studios' superhero movies.
